UK forwarder Europa scores big with a 68pc increase in air profits

BRITISH forwarder Europa Worldwide's air freight division has had its most successful year to date with a 68 per cent increase in profits, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Air consignment volumes have doubled in 2017, compared to the same period last year, and the division's targets for the whole year were reached in just nine months, said the company.
London-based Europa attributes the boom in business to a new operating and reporting structure with new department heads brought in to oversee the import, export and pricing teams separately.
Said air freight manager Andy Serpant: "Our rapid expansion into the commercial sector has allowed us to grow export services, increasing our reach across the globe."
